Contact UsWhat is Teeth Grinding?
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is an everyday issue that affects many people. In many instances, individuals will grind their teeth at night without even knowing it. If you're experiencing headaches, tooth pain, inflammation, or discomfort in your neck and jaw, it's very likely you are grinding your teeth at night. To protect your mouth from the effects of teeth grinding, including deterioration of the enamel, East Village Dental Center offers customized night guards that can defend your teeth while you sleep. We create custom night guards for our Manhattan East Village patients utilizing high-grade materials to fit comfortably in the mouth and improve the nature of your sleep by diminishing jaw clenching and teeth grinding. If you would like to learn more about custom night guards, set up an appointment at our New York, NY dental practice.
Do I Need a Night Guard?
There are many signs that you may be clenching your jaw and/or grinding your teeth at night. You may wake up with pain in your jaw, a headache, and swelling in your lower face. Other symptoms include loose teeth and/or fillings, worn-down enamel on your back teeth, tooth sensitivity, and a receding gumline. Teeth grinding and jaw clenching at night are usually caused by stress but could also be brought on by a sleep disorder, misaligned teeth, allergies, or temporomandibular joint disorder (called TMD). When diagnosing your bruxism, we will try to determine the cause so your night guard can be coupled with another treatment for the best possible results.
East Village Dental Center Reviews
Updated 1/30/2023 - Not sure what’s happened at East Village Dental however I think it’s a change in the management team that handles customer service. While they have updated the way they conduct business when you call they rarely pick up the phone, they do not return calls, they don’t have an emergency line for concerns post surgery. After an uncovering I developed canker sores and called them for a follow up they told me they’d call me back and instead I went the entire weekend in pain (see attached photo at your discretion). I did use warm water and salt to soothe the area but maybe they could have prescribed something to alleviate the pain which led to several days of headaches. There was little concern about my pain/discomfort which I’m very surprised from a place that I really liked and highly recommended just 1-2 years ago. After my crowns are in place I’m not sure I’ll go to them for a cleaning letting alone any serious oral surgery. Until they get a team that’s actually concerned about the customer/Patient stay away from EVD. Update [3/23/2023]: The office manager did call me and assured me that they will note my concerns and look to conduct better care of patients moving forward. I did feel she was sincere and have since then updated my review. I hope they continue to work on their patient care services as they are a vital team in the community.
I need to see the Dr
Today, only one receptionist was at the front. dental assistant signed in, then she asked to fill out the form from previous time, then the front desk said " hey :) you’ve already done this....." i figured if you make an appointment around noon, everyone goes out for lunch.So, one person can’t handle herself. Inside is very clean, water is provided for every patients. At the entrance, there a slope. Once they know you, they’re friendly, I believe. Waiting area has a TV and they’re shopping very Negative documentary show, I think they’ll have to change that... It’s very Loud and can’t even relax before you’re called. There’s a super Marcket one block from there. M9 bus is running every 10min.
I had the most thorough cleaning today. The hygeniest Chris was so professional and patient. She explained each step and provided educated me without making me feel embarrassed. The provider was also kind, he did a follow up after and actually talked to me. Neither made me feel rushed and they answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I am so satisfied. I'll be back in a few week for a teeth whitening procedure. So excited!!!! From the front desk, X-ray tech to the providers, all were welcoming and efficient. Thank you!!!!!

How is Teeth Grinding Treated?
After we make your bruxism diagnosis, we will take impressions and digital oral x-rays so your custom night guard can be created. We will send your information to a dental laboratory where your specialized night guard will be crafted with the best materials. When your night guard is complete and sent back to us, you will come back into our Manhattan East Village office to have it fitted. We can make small adjustments so that it fits properly and comfortably. You will also be given directions on how to properly care for your night guard so it lasts a long time.
What Can I Expect After My Teeth Grinding Treatment?
For your night guard to be effective, you must wear it each night. Your night guard should minimize or eliminate the pain and dental problems created by teeth grinding, but if not, please call us so we can address other issues and try other therapies. In order to help keep your mouth and night guard in pristine condition, you should properly clean and care for both your mouth and night guard prior to and following each use. We ask that you bring your night guard to all future dental appointments so we can make adjustments or repairs as needed.
